How Dependency Injection Containers Work in C#?

Dependency Injection (DI) containers, such as Unity or DryIoc, help manage the creation and lifetime of object dependencies in C#. They facilitate the Inversion of Control (IoC) principle, allowing you to focus on writing clean, maintainable code without worrying about the complexities of instantiating dependencies manually. How DI Containers Work? Registration:  You define which concrete classes should be used to fulfill specific interface contracts. This allows the DI container to know what to instantiate when a class requests a particular dependency. Resolution:  When an instance of a class is requested, the DI container looks at the registered services, resolves the dependencies, and creates the object with the required dependencies injected. Lifetime Management:  The container manages the lifecycle of the dependencies. You can specify whether instances should be singleton (one instance for the entire application), transient (a new instance each time), or scoped (one ...

The Benefits of MVVM: Why it's Still a Popular Architecture in 2023

Image
Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) is an architecture pattern that has been around for more than a decade, but it remains a popular choice for developers in 2023. MVVM is a software design pattern that separates the user interface (UI) code from the business logic and data access layers, making it easier to develop and maintain complex applications. In this blog post, we'll explore why MVVM is still a popular architecture pattern in 2023 and the benefits it offers to developers. Separation of Concerns One of the primary benefits of MVVM is that it separates the UI code from the business logic and data access layers. This separation of concerns makes it easier to develop and maintain complex applications. Developers can focus on the functionality of each layer independently, which results in code that is easier to read, test, and maintain. Testability MVVM makes it easier to test the application. Since the UI code is separated from the business logic, developers can test the functionality...

Pagination of DataGrid in WPF using MVVM

Step by step guide to implement the command in wpf

Image
To create the custom command we need to implement ICommand interface which is having two method called CanExecute and Execute and one EventHandler called CanExecuteChanged. CanExecute method is responsible to tell if commend will execute or not. Execute method perform the action. Step to create custom command: Implement the ICommand write a constructor which will take two parameters of type Action and Func respectively. if you want to trigger CanExecute on property change then add the method which should invoke CanExecuteChanged  EventHandler . Why Action? Action delegate is used for performing the action. As our actual implementation of  this Action will present in our ViewModel and we need to pass ViewModel method as a constructor parameter so that we can assign it in our CustomCommand and can invoke when require. Why Func? Func delegate is used when we want to pass some value and return some value. As our actual implementation of  this Func will ...
